Our adventure begins at the Batteau Festival in Lynchburg, Virginia. For those who don't know, the James River Batteau Festival is an 8-day journey on the James River from Lynchburg to Richmond. I was introduced to the "magic" of the Beatteu Festival at a young age because it has been a Hansen tradition for years. Wyatt also had been attending the Batteau festival since he was younger. Surprisingly, it took us until the summer of 2021 to run into each other during the first day of the festival. After that, we slowly started talking and hanging out and the rest was history!
